Emily was very friendly, accommodating and informative. We learned a lot and had a fun experience. Our friend had a knee wheelie and she was very patient with us. We were also the only ones on the tour so she interacted with us nicely. So interesting seeing the homes of historically notable families and famous people.

History, culture, and jazz oh yeah
Our tour guide Hollis was amazing! He was really passionate about his city, and you can tell it means a lot to him. He explained so much history, from the Foundational Black American POV. He also explained all of the shady dealings going on now to displace the Foundational Black Americans from their area. I have always wanted to take part in a New Orleans second line,now I can say I have.

New Orleans Culture Second Line Tour in NOLA
pmelbiz, Jul 2026
A second line experience extravaganza!
This tour of Tremé was truly a memorable experience! As one of the oldest African American neighborhoods in the country, its rich Creole culture and status as a birthplace of jazz come alive at every turn. We loved exploring the stunning local murals and learning about historic homes, where our guide , Hollis, shared fascinating historical insights. A pit stop at a local bar for a drink and live jazz music was fantastic, but the absolute highlight was the second-line experience. Dancing alongside the wonderful band members as they played beautiful music was exhilarating. If you want a deep, vibrant, and moving piece of New Orleans history, do not miss this tour!

Wonderful tour!
Cassandra took us into all the areas of the city, mostly driving (our choice) but we did our share of walking in the French Quarter and at the Cemetery. Cassandra had so much knowledge, provided visuals to help us understand the history, answered all our questions, provided suggestions for restaurants and other sites near our hotel, and all in all made our first trip to New Orleans perfect.

Exceeded all expectations!
If you want your historical walking tour to be interesting, colorful, passionate, and funny, then this one is for you. Emily, our guide, was full of facts and figures, but also tied the connections together about how the neighborhood developed and how the community members navigated different times and challenges. Her passion to understand more and more is inspiring.
